This is +where the bricks fall and the action resides during a game. +<li>The next brick display.<br> +During a game, the next brick to come up is showed here. That way the player +has an opportunity of planning ahead one step. +<li>Convenience buttons.<br> +These are the four functions that are applicable when a game is in progress. +They are also availible in the <b>Game</b> menu and as keyboard shortcuts. +<li>Level of difficulty display.<br> +This shows the current level if a game is in progress. If a game is not in +progress it shows the most recently played level or, if the <b>Pick level</b> +option described in <a href="http://lww.CS.Arizona.EDU:80/~henriks/menus.html"><b>Menu items and features</b></a>. +has been used, the level at which the next game will start. +<li>Current score display.<br> +This shows the current score if a game is in progress. If a game is not in +progress it shows the final score of the most recently played game. +<li>Highscore display.<br> +If the application is ran for the first time from the current directory or +if the file <b>highscore.dat</b> has been deleted, the initial highscore is +zero. Otherwise, the highscore is read from the above mentioned file. If a +game results in a score higher than the current highscore, the highscore +display is updated and the new highscore is saved to file. This does not +happen if a game is stopped, a new game is started or the application is +closed when a game is in progress. +<li>The menu bar.<br> +There are five menus on the menu bar, each of which holds a category of +options and features. The menus are named after the category they contain. +Each menu and its different menu items are described in detail in +<a href="http://lww.CS.Arizona.EDU:80/~henriks/menus.html"><b>Menu items and features</b></a>. +<li>Initial animation area.<br> +When the <b>htetris</b> application is started, an animation of bricks is +performed here. This is just for show and has no other function. +</ol> +<br> +</font> +<img src="http://lww.CS.Arizona.EDU:80/~henriks/screenshot.gif" alt="htetris screenshot."> +</body> +</html> |
